Compared to my first music stand, this one is not an eyesore. Love it.

Very high quality stand, it will last for years and years to come. Fast shipping, packaged very well. A+

There's a reason the Manhasset stand can be found in virtually every public school band or choir room across the country. These stands are incredibly solid and stand up to the daily abuse that kids can so easily inflict on equipment. Even when treated miserably, the worst that happens is these stands develop a wobble, which is repairable with parts the manufacturer makes readily available. Unless you need something more portable (and beware, because the majority of folding stands are cheap and flimsy), you need look no further. Given normal wear and tear, the Manhasset stand will last a lifetime. Bear in mind that the legs of this stand are solid metal. If you have wood floors you don't want to see scratched, I strongly recommend the Manhasset Floor Protectors. These are sturdy rubber feet which slide easily onto the leg ends of this stand but, once there, remain firmly in place. These are a wise (if not essential) investment.

This stand is solidly constructed and easily adjustable to a comfortable reading position. It is not tippy or flimsy like some cheaper (especially fold-up) stands. A very good product.

bought to surprise my husband. he was SO surprised at what a nice stand this is. very sturdy and not flimsy...not like the cheap silver colored stands. deep space to hold music books which seem to stand up with no problems. would highly recommend.
